Rogue leaned over the table, and placed a magazine in front of Toad's face. She slammed her finger on the page, pointing to an outfit of a male model, in a pair of black well-fitted jeans, and a gray turtle neck sweater. He had black steel-toed boots on his feet, and his dark brown hair spiked. "Whatya think of that one?" Rogue asked.
Toad sat at the table in the quad, with the girls, his 'instructors'. Elizabeth leaned over to look at the magazine next to him, and looked at the page. Tabitha and Kitty leaned forward glancing at the page. "I like that look." Elizabeth approved.
Kitty smiled, and nodded. "Hey guys!" Brian grinned, as he sat next to Tabitha.
"Hey cutie!" Tabitha smiled, as she and Brian gave each other a peck on the lips.
Elizabeth looked up at her twin, his blonde hair spiked, his face clean-shaven. "See? You should maybe go to Brian for a makeover look." Rogue suggested, gesturing to Brian.
"What makeover?" Brian asked, as he dug through his backpack for his lunch bag.
"We're giving Toad a makeover for the dance. I'm going to be his date." Elizabeth smiled.
Brian froze, his blue eyes moving to look up at the two. "Excuse me?"
Elizabeth and Toad looked at each other, and then back at the shocked mutant, nodding. Brian then let out a laugh, "You're joking, right?"
Tabitha planted her fist on his arm. "Shut up!" She hissed.
Brian's mouth dropped, and he glared at her, holding onto the spot where her fist had pounded. He then sobered and looked at Toad, who glared at the table, with his chin on the palm of his hand, "I'm sorry, Toad, it's just that..." Brian paused, not knowing what to say, "It's just that; well, what about Pietro? What does he have to say?" Brian asked his twin.
Elizabeth shrugged, and then scoffed, "Pietro's got enough girls gawking over him." She snapped, as she continued to look through the magazine.
"You're trying to make him jealous?" Brian asked.
"Yup!" Elizabeth immediately answered.
"And I'm trying to make Wanda jealous. Which is why Betsy and the girls are givin me a makeover, yo!" Toad excitedly grinned.
"Okay, now we got you an appointment set up after school today for the salon." Kitty smiled.
Toad nervously grinned, "The salon?"
The girls looked at him anxiously, nodding. Toad sighed, "Well, alright. Whatever you girls say." He sighed.
*~*~*~*
Pietro glared at Elizabeth as she dug through her locker. He walked towards her, and leaned against the locker near the opening of hers. "Just what are you up to?" He asked.
Elizabeth looked at him, "Up to what?"
She then turned back to her locker, exchanging books between her backpack and her locker. "Oh come on, Betsy! I know that you and Toad are up to something!" He snapped.
Elizabeth smiled, shaking her head, "I seriously have no idea what you're talking about."
She zipped up her backpack, and closed her locker. She then strapped the bag over her shoulders. "Pietro! There you are!" They heard.
A young girl from one of Elizabeth's classes, Jasmine, rushed to Pietro, grabbing onto his arm. Elizabeth crossed her arms, glaring at the young brunette. Pietro then looked at Jasmine, "Hey Jazz. What's up, doll body?" Pietro smirked.
"You wanna go to the dance with me?" She asked.
Pietro glanced at Elizabeth, who stared at them. She raised an eyebrow at him. Pietro smirked at her, and then looked at Jasmine, "Sure, I'll go!" He grinned.
"Great! How are we heading there?" Jasmine smiled.
"We'll all take a limo together!" Elizabeth offered.
Jasmine lifted her lip at Elizabeth, "Did I ask you?" She hissed.
"No, Jazz, that's okay. That actually sounds like a great idea!" Pietro hissed, glaring at Elizabeth as he said his last sentance.
"Perfect! You pick up your dates, and meet us at the Institute!" Elizabeth smiled, as she turned and walked towards her next class.
Pietro sighed, and looked at Jasmine, "You wanna walk me to my next class?" Jasmine asked.
Pietro smiled, knowing her next class was with Elizabeth. "Sure!" He smiled.
*~*~*~*
John sat in the empty desk next to Wanda. Toad walked into the class, and took his seat in front of her. He then turned to talk to Wanda and John. "What's up, mate?" John greeted.
Toad shrugged, "Nothing. So you guys have any plans on how to get to the dance?" Toad asked.
Wanda looked up at him, and then glanced at her Aussie boyfriend. She then looked at Toad, "Actually, we haven't thought about that yet." She told him.
"Well, Rogue came up with idea that we take a limo together. We pick up whoever, and meet up with the others at the institute!" Toad smiled.
"Who's the others?" Wanda asked, raising an eyebrow.
Toad shrugged, "Well, Tabby and Brian are coming, Kurt and Amanda have jumped on the bandwagon, Betsy, Rogue, Gambit," He then paused looking up in thought, "Oh, and Kitty too." He finished.
Wanda smiled, and nodded, "Sure! That sounds like a good idea!" She grinned.
Toad raised an eyebrow, "Why, you thought Scott and Jean were jumping on us too?" He smiled.
Wanda hesitantly nodded, "You know me too well, Toad." She grinned.
"Yeah, I'm not too keen on goodie goodie goggle mate, either." John smirked.
Toad shrugged, "Okay, then. That's the plan. Besides, I think those two are ridin' with Evan and his date. They wanted to take Scott's Dodge Viper!" Toad cringed.
"Lucky bastard." John mumbled.
Wanda glanced at him, "What?"
John shrugged, "He's got that stupid car; bought by Xavier! Where do you think the rest of that baldie's money goes?" John smirked.
Wanda shook her head, smiling. "Well, my dad's offering to take me car shopping for my birthday." She told them.
Toad's face lit up, "Really? Whatya going to get?" He asked.
Wanda shrugged. "I kinda wanted a car like John's." She then glanced at her boyfriend, smiling, "Something about that mustang that just gets to me!" She playfully growled.
John raised an eyebrow at her, smiling, "Can't resist the Auss!" He smiled.
Toad sobered, and turned around as the teacher walked into the room. He hoped desperately, that the girls' plan would work.
